Wagner "Entry of the Gods into Valhalla," from Das Rheingold
Rouse Der gerettete Alberich ("Alberich Saved"), fantasy for solo percussion and orchestra
Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5
The program opens with the imperial "Entrance of the Gods" from Das Rheingold at the very beginning of the Ring. Then, skipping past 16 hours of Wagner's music, American composer Christopher Rouse imagines a postlude to the Ring and uses the final chords of Götterdämmerung as the opening of his percussion concerto. A 1997 co-commission by The Philadelphia Orchestra, Der gerettete Alberich (Alberich Saved) is brought back this season in honor of the Wagner bi-centennial.
